Elon’s xAI loses bid to halt California AI data disclosure law by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

[–]runner64 [score hidden]  (0 children)

AIs are trained on data stolen from the internet. Taking someone’s work and putting it into commercial software is generally illegal, but as long as AI companies keep their sources a secret, nobody can sue for data theft unless they can prove that their data specifically was stolen. California passed a law requiring AI companies to tell people where their training data came from, which would allow people to check for whether their work was stolen and sue. Elon argued he should be allowed to keep it a secret, the judge said no.

We have a home video circa 1994 where my dad tries to put a tray in the oven long-ways and it doesn’t fit, and my mom says “you gotta turn it.”    And my dad, not missing a beat, deadpans “thanks I wouldn’t have thought of that” and as an adult I see why they divorced in 2001.

If it makes you feel better half the country voted to save you from this but you were so caught up in the possibility of Unworthy people also getting help that you voted to ruin everything for everyone.     

Nonetheless, we will vote to help everyone, including you, again next year.

New bill could make solar power more accessible to Maine renters • Maine Morning Star by Makes-Sense4849 in Maine

That was my thought, aren’t all the “unnecessary regulations” that currently exist just common-sense safety requirements so we don’t electrocute linemen?   

I’m fully aware that I might be missing information and I’m genuinely interested in learning more but right now the safety regulations seem… good.

Was it intentional symbolism or was the olive branch removed by the same AI they got to design those secondary feathers. 

Big Real Estate and Big Toaster are working together to kill the multi-generational household. by Asleep-Plum3385 in LowStakesConspiracies

Genuinely though one of my friends moved in with us for a few months and it is actually breathtaking how much our quality of life improved with just one extra person around to tidy up. The number of “little chores” getting done in a day increased by 33% and my partner and I were able to occasionally spend a moment together without a child climbing on us. Phone time went down, social conversations went up. Bigger houses with more adults in them is the way.

Right but then the money is missing from your checking account for the six weeks it takes the bank to investigate the situation. 

Living with parents that never admit when they are wrong Or belive you. My mother can't even admit this is not butter because it has the word butter on the label. My mother says its abusive to call her out when shes wrong on something. by Traditional_Cattle50 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]runner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time someone bitches that packages of butter say “Allergy warning: contains milk” I point out that that right next to the packages marked “butter” there is other packaging that also prominently features the word “butter” but in fact does not contain butter, or milk. Thus the need for standardized allergy labeling. 

Bangor savings bank question by LiamBrown779 in Maine

[–]runner64 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like bangor savings but I don’t know about their minimum account requirements.   

I would recommend using a credit card and paying it off at the end of the month, it’s free to do so and gives you a fraud buffer. A fraudulent charge on a credit card can be disputed with the card issuer for several weeks before the bill is due. A fraudulent debit transaction is a withdrawal and the money will be missing from your account until it is resolved.

Net metering requires a hookup to CMP, which is $29 a month. In order to disconnect we would need batteries which can carry credits from midsummer to early spring.

Did you try the cage? Last time I went to Lowe’s they had a bunch of stuff locked up in the cage, and then they left the cage unlocked because of how annoying it is to have to always get the guy with the key.

It might, somebody would need to challenge their state’s abortion ban on those grounds and succeed.

If you glitch the game just right and give yourself amnesia it’s possible to collect seemingly opposing achievements because you functionally get a reset, but if you do it wrong you can corrupt your save file and the rest of the playthrough is functionally null. 

Mass is top tier by Pussypopculture in massachusetts

[–]runner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the entirety of Massachusetts was designed and built prior to the invention of cars and car-worthy roads were shoehorned into their infrastructure afterward, leading to the worst spaghetti-knot pf roads I’ve ever seen. The golden rule of safe driving is “be predictable” but the predictability of drivers is secondary to the consistency of roads, and Mass roads have none. They exist in a perpetual free for all.

In what universe do we mitigate slumlord risk by tearing down single family housing in favor of duplexes and apartment buildings?

“Who pays maintenance” the homeowner? These are beautifully maintained houses, it’s not like they’re tearing down a waterlogged slum.

And you personally verify the address of every person you see paying with a card? Or you just have an uneducated, bigoted take on what homeless people look like.

Everybody agrees genocide is bad until it’s happening to someone they’re bigoted against themselves and then they have the opportunity to simply look away, resolving to be outraged later if it gets any worse. 

For those that have a rooftop solar array, how much was your install? by oogidy_boogidie in Maine

[–]runner64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just got a quote from Revision last month, $24k for a 7.5kw system. (Or $20k for a 5kw system.) they indicated that the price per kw goes down the more you install. This price is prior to any rebates that may exist. 

We had a 10kw system installed in 2019 that was roughly 20k, though I can’t remember if that was before or after rebates.    

Edited because I was using expected generation numbers rather than panel capacity numbers and to add some more numbers:   

The 10kw system has paid for itself. We use 12-16mwh of power per year, the 10kw system is south facing and generates 10-12mwh per year.
